#VTJTalks: Scaling World-Class Products & Teams
Building a great product is hard. Scaling it — while growing and leading a high-performing team — is even harder.
As companies move from early traction to rapid growth, founders and operators face a new set of challenges: evolving product strategy, hiring the right talent at the right time, maintaining culture, and building systems that scale without slowing innovation.
Join Vancouver Tech Journal & VanHack for an evening conversation with experienced founders and operators who have scaled products and teams across different stages of growth. From early-stage scrappiness to global expansion, our panelists will share candid lessons on what worked, what didn’t, and what they wish they knew earlier.
